Wish I knew more about this spot, but I really cannot remember the name of the place. Taken just outside of Jasper town, myself and a few others were on a wildlife spotting trip with a local guide. It was here we were hoping to catch some long horned sheep, but they were being decidedly shy, our guide was most upset as he sees them here all the time, but not on the day we went. So instead I took in the scenery which was rather beautiful. This is my last Alberta shot...Well for now, till I find a few more.
I shall not be around much later, so apologies if comments are scarce, back tomorrow!
I have a new seasonal gallery up and running 'Deck the Halls' if you are interested in taking a look. Thought it was about time I stopped being all Bahhh Humbug! A cracking collection of wonderful images by very talented people!
Jasper is located in the Athabasca River valley, at the confluence with Miette River. It lies between the Victoria Cross Ranges (northwest), Pyramid Mountain (north), Maligne Range (southeast) and Indian Ridge (southwest). Jasper is connected to the west via the Yellowhead Highway and the Yellowhead Pass to Prince George and to the east to Edmonton. Toward the south, the Icefield Parkway leads to Banff and Banff National Park.

There is a lot of controversy among tourists about the reason and use of the "Berlin Pipes", which are seen throughout the city most with bright colors such as light blue or pink, even in places that are very visited.
It is one of the almost obligatory questions that are always asked by local guides. It has even been said in a program of the Spanish national official channel "Televisión Española" that these pipes were gas pipes.
Our guide was ironic, but direct: the gas tubes in the air would be the dream of any terrorist who, just by bringing a lighter, could bust the whole city.
Actually they are water drains.
Berlin is permanently under construction and reconstruction works from almost the fall of the Wall (1989). Due to the fact that the water level of the entire Berlin area is only a few meters from the surface, it is necessary to drain several layers of the subsoil before beginning any work.
Most of these famous pipes end up emptying the water in some river or some channel of the many that cross Berlin. Which is explained in this link:
viveberlin.wordpress.com/2012/07/22/the-mystery-of-the-pi...
------------------------
(De mi archivo personal de imágenes digitales, año 2016)
Hay mucha controversia entre los turistas sobre el motivo y el uso de las "Tuberías de Berlín", que se ven por toda la ciudad la mayoría con colores vivos como el azul claro o el rosa, incluso en lugares muy visitados.
Es una de las preguntas casi obligadas que siempre hacen los guías locales. Incluso se ha dicho en un programa de la cadena oficial "Televisión Española" que estas tuberías eran de gas.
Nuestro guía fue irónico, pero directo: las tuberías aéreas de gas serían el sueño de cualquier terrorista que, con sólo llevar un mechero, podría reventar toda la ciudad.
En realidad son tuberías que provienen de desagües de agua.
Berlín está permanentemente en obras de construcción y reconstrucción desde casi la caída del Muro (1989). Debido a que el nivel de agua de toda la zona de Berlín está a pocos metros de la superficie, es necesario drenar varias capas del subsuelo antes de comenzar cualquier obra, que de otra manera quedaría anegada de agua.
La mayoría de estas famosas tuberías acaban vaciando el agua en algún río o algún canal de los muchos que atraviesan Berlín.
Como se ve en la foto.

Commonly known as moth orchids, is a genus of about seventy species of orchids in the family orchid. Orchids in this genus are monopodial epiphytes or lithophytes with long, coarse roots, short, leafy stems and long-lasting, flat flowers arranged in a flowering stem that often branches near the end. Orchids in this genus are native to India, China, Southeast Asia, New Guinea and Australia with the majority in Indonesia and the Philippines. A few to many, small to large, long-lasting, flat, often fragrant flowers are arranged on erect to hanging racemes or panicles. The sepals and petals are free from and spread widely apart from each other. The lateral sepals are usually larger than the dorsal sepal and the petals much wider than the sepals. The labellum is joined stiffly to the column and has three lobes. The side lobes are erect and more or less parallel to each other and the middle lobe sometimes has a pair of appendages or antennae.

Osorno, one of the most beautiful volcanoes of Chile, and the Lhanquihue Lake.
Its figure ideally synthesizes what a volcano is. Its unique colors, as well as its slopes and a summit that remains covered with white, unspoilt snow almost 365 days a year.
Standing almost 60 kilometers to the Northwest of Puerto Varas, it reaches a height of 2,661 meters above sea level. Its great height makes it visible from every point in the district of Osorno, even in some places on Chiloé Island. Therefore, it represents an impressive and typical postcard of the region. With its classical blackish dark green color and ornamented with arms of eternal snow, its presence attracts the thousands of tourists who visit it every year. Looking at its summit is mesmerizing and it is the destination for various climbing excursions.
The volcano may be ascended from Puerto Kloker, Ensenada and Petrohué. Ascents take approximately 6 hours and, in most cases, groups are organized to climb in the company of a local guide. It is advisable to wear thermic clothes, sunglasses, sun protection, water and, of course, comfortable climbing footwear.

Small and striking tanager, looks mostly black with shining blue head and straw-colored shoulder. Sexes alike. Most similar to Masked Tanager, but has dark (not white) belly and shoulder is buffier. Quite common in Andean foothills, with a disjunct population in Brazilian lowlands. Usually found in pairs or small groups, often following a mixed-species flock through the canopy. Occurs in forests, edges, and gardens.
This one was photographed in Northern Peru led by Neotropic Photo Tours and our Peruvian local guide for this portion of the trip; Fisher Chávez of Perú Nature Photography.
El parque nacional de Ranomafana se localiza al sudeste de Madagascar en la provincia de Fianarantsoa. Tiene más de 41 600 ha de bosque húmedo, el parque es el hábitat de un buen número de especies raras de flora y fauna como los lémures. El parque fue establecido en 1991 con el propósito conservar la diversidad única del ecosistema local y reducir la presión humana sobre las áreas protegidas.
El parque nacional de Ranomafana forma parte de la denominación Pluviselvas de Atsinanana elegida como Patrimonio de la Humanidad por la Unesco en 2007. Desde 2010 también se incluye en la lista Patrimonio de la Humanidad en peligro.
La flora y fauna de este parque nacional se han sometido a estudios científicos intensivos. Varios estudios científicos se han publicado
es.wikipedia.org/wiki/Parque_nacional_de_Ranomafana
Ranomafana National Park is a national park in southeastern Madagascar, in the Haute Matsiatra and Vatovavy regions. It was established as Madagascar's fourth national park in 1991 following the rediscovery of the greater bamboo lemur (Hapalemur simus) and the discovery of the golden bamboo lemur (Hapalemur aureus) by the primatologist Dr. Patricia Wright.
The park protects more than 41,600 hectares (161 square miles) of tropical rainforest at elevations ranging from 800 to 1,200 m (2,645 to 3,937 ft) and is home to several rare species of plants and animals. It was later integrated into the UNESCO World Heritage Site Rainforests of the Atsinanana. The Centre ValBio research station is adjacent to the park and was created in 2003 by Stony Brook University for biodiversity research, community health and education, environmental arts, and reforestation.
The park's name is derived from the Malagasy words rano mafana ("hot water") due to the hot springs in the nearby town of Ranomafana.
The range of altitudes in the park produces a variety of forest types, including lowland rainforest and cloud forest. These forests support high levels of biodiversity. The park hosts 90 species of butterflies, 112 species of frogs, 22 species of lizards, 22 species of snake, and 118 species of birds, 30 of which are endemic to the park. Notable birds include ground rollers, blue vangas, short-legged ground rollers and brown mesites.
As with all national parks in Madagascar, a local guide is required for visitors entering the park. It has seven hiking trails that vary in length from 10 to 20 km (6.2 to 12.4 mi) and offer opportunities for birdwatching, viewing lemurs, and seeing waterfalls.
Talatakely has well-defined paths and stairs, although sturdy shoes should be worn as the path can be slippery when wet. Specialist guides can be arranged through Centre ValBio for excursions.
Kayaking or canoeing can also be arranged and a hot springs pool is located in Ranomafana.

The scientific name of Cattle Egret is Bubulcus ibis. Bubulcus means herdsman, and is highly appropriate as this bird is nearly always seen in the company of cattle (or other hoofed animals). But the name ibis seems odd as it is the name for a completely different bird. The ancient Greek authors recognised three different types of ibis; Glossy, Sacred and Bald. Fredrick Hasselqvist (1722-52) was a student of Linnaeus and then became one of his "apostles". Hasselqvist visited the Middle East (Asia Minor, Cyprus, Egypt and Palestine) to assist Linnaeus who regretted the lack of information from this region. During his time in Egypt his local guide persuaded him that the Cattle Egret was actually the Sacred Ibis of Ancient Egypt. Hasselqvist died on the way home from his trip but his papers reached Linnaeus, who perpetuated the myth by bestowing the scientific name ibis on the Cattle Egret; Ardea ibis. And once a valid name has been given, it cannot be changed, even if it is irrelevant or inappropriate. Though if an earlier valid name is discovered then the earliest name takes precedence. The genus name can change though, especially since DNA can now show relatedness that might not have been suspected when things were first named.
I photographed this impressively horned Highland Cow with attendant Cattle Egrets at Fairburn Ings in West Yorkshire.

Doppelgänger - It's amazing how similar this Bengal Fox looks to the North American kit foxes - if I didn't take this image myself, or know where this was taken, I'd assume this was a kit fox!
The similarity is superficial however, and is likely due to convergence - since both can be found in similar desert habitats. They do not share a recent common ancestor, aren't particularly closely related, and are found on separate continents, which makes the similarity even more intriguing to me.
Special thanks to local guides for making this image posisble.

When a wild Puma (Puma concolor) (this adult female is called "Rupestra" by local guides) walks right past you and gives you this look, it literally leaves you breathless, for a moment. Thankfully she was pursuing a herd of Guanaco and had no intent to make this a permanent condition for us.

Horse-riding has been an integral part of Hacienda Zuleta for over a century. The ranch is home to 200 horses, 100 bred for polo and the rest for guests and farm-use.
The Zuletenos breed, a cross between Andalusian, Thoroughbred and Quarter Horse bred at Hacienda Zuleta, is also a wonderful dressage horse.
The horses are so well-mannered, obedient and eager-to-please, very responsive to the rider. Just a dream.
"Almost nothing can spook them," said José Ñoquez, local guide and master horseman, "They have a perfect disposition for trail-riding."
Riders can explore the stunning Andean countryside on a number of trails that climb to nearly 4000m above sea level.
Second Wave, Coyote Buttes North
This is another shot from an early November trip out west with good friend and fellow photographer Kevin Benedict.
A short hike past the Wave you will find the "Second Wave." Although not as well known or as popular as its more famous brethren, it is well worth the additional wear and tear on the legs. As with the Wave, the Second Wave cannot be accessed without first obtaining one of the 20 daily permits via the Wave lottery. As noted in an earlier post, we were fortunate to obtain a permit for our last day out west, though it required hiring one of the local guides to attend the lottery for five days on our behalf so that we could continue to shoot in and around Zion National Park. If you are lucky or persistent enough to get a permit to shoot the Wave, don't pass up the opportunity to make the trek to the Second Wave as well. The best time to shoot is late afternoon as the setting sun illuminates the Second Wave while also casting a deep shadow on the distant cliffs in the background to isolate the beauty of this often overlooked rock formation.
Thanks for taking a look.
Taquile (Spanish: Isla de Taquile; Quechua: Intika) is an island on the Peruvian side of Lake Titicaca 45 km offshore from the city of Puno.
The inhabitants, known as Taquileños, speak Puno Quechua.
Taquileños are known for their fine handwoven textiles and clothing, which are regarded as among the highest-quality handicrafts in Peru. Knitting is exclusively performed by males, beginning in early boyhood. Women spin wool and use vegetables and minerals to dye the wool to be used by the community. Women are also the weavers of the Chumpis, the wide belts with woven designs worn by everyone in the community of Taquile.
Taquileans are known for having created an innovative, community-controlled sustainable tourism model, offering home stays, transportation, lodging for groups, cultural activities, local guides and restaurants.

A friend of ours blew into town last night from Albuquerque, New Mexico on his way to San Francisco. That's the thing about photography, you meet all kinds of interesting people and they become friends. We had the chance to run around with Patrick a few years ago in Albuquerque when he acted as a local guide for four other photographers. That's another thing about photography, you don't always meet people face-to-face and yet, because of a common interest, you become friends online and if you do get to meet face-to-face, well, "I know you!" Photography is exploring, shooting, meeting.

A rhinoceros, from Greek rhinokerōs, meaning 'nose-horned', from rhis, meaning 'nose', and keras, meaning 'horn'), commonly abbreviated to rhino, is one of any five extant species of odd-toed ungulates in the family Rhinocerotidae, as well as any of the numerous extinct species therein. Two of the extant species are native to Africa, and three to Southern Asia. The term rhinoceros is often more broadly applied to now extinct species of the superfamily Rhinocerotoidea. Members of the rhinoceros family are some of the largest remaining megafauna, with all species able to reach or exceed one tonne in weight. They have a herbivorous diet, small brains (400–600 g) for mammals of their size, one or two horns, and a thick (1.5–5 cm) protective skin formed from layers of collagen positioned in a lattice structure. They generally eat leafy material, although their ability to ferment food in their hindgut allows them to subsist on more fibrous plant matter when necessary. Unlike other perissodactyls, the two African species of rhinoceros lack teeth at the front of their mouths, relying instead on their lips to pluck food.
The oxpeckers are two species of bird which make up the genus Buphagus. Oxpeckers graze exclusively on the bodies of large mammals. Certain species are seemingly preferred, whereas others, like the Lichtenstein's hartebeest or topi are generally avoided. Smaller antelope such as lechwe, duikers and reedbuck are also avoided; the smallest regularly used species is the impala, probably because of the heavy tick load and social nature of that species. In many parts of their range they now feed on cattle, but avoid camels. They feed on ectoparasites, particularly ticks, as well as insects infesting wounds and the flesh and blood of some wounds as well. They are sometimes classified as parasites, because they open wounds on the animals' backs. S_4299

It is a genus of about 125 species of tropical, succulent flowering plants in the family Crassulaceae, mainly native to Madagascar and tropical Africa. Kalanchoe was one of the first plants to be sent into space, sent on a resupply to the Soviet Salyut 1 space station in 1971. Most are shrubs or perennial herbaceous plants, but a few are annual or biennial. The largest, Kalanchoe beharensis from Madagascar, can reach 6 m tall, but most species are less than 1 m tall. Kalanchoes are characterized by opening their flowers by growing new cells on the inner surface of the petals to force them outwards, and on the outside of the petals to close them. Kalanchoe flowers are divided into 4 sections with 8 stamens. The petals are fused into a tube, in a similar way to some related genera such as Cotyledon. S_8712

Machu Picchu in the afternoon light...from a vantage point that our local guide said was his favorite! This UNESCO World Heritage site is impressive from every angle!
7,000 feet above sea level and nestled on a small hilltop between the Andean Mountain Range, the majestic city soars above the Urabamba Valley below. The Incan built structure has been deemed the “Lost Cities”, unknown until its relatively recent discovery in 1911. Archaeologists estimate that approximately 1200 people could have lived in the area, though many theorize it was most likely a retreat for Incan rulers. Due to it’s isolation from the rest of Peru, living in the area full time would require traveling great distances just to reach the nearest village.

This is the world's smallest monkey, its size is just like that of a tiny squirrel.
We found this monkey thanks to the great connections of our local guide at Yasuni National Park, Ecuador.
It was great to see this cute monkey feeding on sap that it extracted from the bark of the tree by biting little chunks off and waiting for the sap to come out.
Many thanks for your comments, faves, and follows :)

Gordonia is a genus of flowering plants in the family Theaceae, related to Franklinia, Camellia and Stewartia. Of the roughly 40 species, all but two are native to southeast Asia in southern China, Taiwan and Indochina. They are evergreen trees, growing to 10–20 m tall. The bark is thick and deeply fissured. The leaves are alternately arranged, simple, serrated, thick, leathery, glossy, and 6–18 cm long. The flowers are large and conspicuous, 4–15 cm diameter, with 5 (occasionally 6-8) white petals; flowering is in late winter or early spring. The species are adapted to acidic soils, and do not grow well on chalk or other calcium-rich soils. They also have a high rainfall requirement and will not tolerate drought. Of economic importance in East Asia, Southeast Asia, and the Indian subcontinent, leaves of C. sinensis are processed to create the popular beverage tea. The ornamental C. japonica, C. sasanqua and their hybrids are the source of hundreds of garden cultivars. C. oleifera produces tea seed oil, used in cooking and cosmetics. The various species of camellia plants are generally well-adapted to acid soils rich in humus, and most species do not grow well on chalky soil or other calcium-rich soils. Most species of camellias also require a large amount of water, either from natural rainfall or from irrigation, and the plants will not tolerate droughts. However, some of the more unusual camellias – typically species from karst soils in Vietnam – can grow without too much water. S_7103
